Mission
The CESS mission statement was changed in fall 2005 to better reflect our
current profile. This is the current mission statement:
The Centre for European Security Studies (CESS) is an independent
institute for research, consultancy, education and training, based in
the Netherlands. Its aim is to promote transparent, accountable and
effective governance of the security sector, broadly defined. It seeks
to advance democracy and the rule of law, help governments and civil
society face their security challenges, and further the civilised and
lawful resolution of conflict.
CESS is international, multidisciplinary and collaborative. Its work is
part of the European quest for peace and security both within and
outside Europe. CESS encourages informed debate, empowers individuals,
fosters mutual understanding on military and other security matters,
promotes and sustains democratic structures and processes and supports
reforms that favour stability and peace.
